Ripple Can Counter SEC’s Attacks on Stablecoin With Binance Ruling
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s arguments in the much-awaited reply in support of its motion for remedies and final judgment turned out to be weak. Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty even quoted it as “More of the same from the SEC — failing to faithfully apply the law and trying to pull the wool over the Judge’s eyes.” He hinted at the end of the long-running lawsuit and believes the court will approach the remedies phase fairly.
US SEC Attacks Ripple’s Planned Stablecoin
The SEC asked the court to enter the requested injunctions based on assumptions of violation by Ripple in the future. The securities regulator attacked Ripple’s stablecoin plan to argue that an injunction is required.
XRP expert Ashley Prosper asserts a ruling on Binance’s motion to dismiss can come any day now and Judge Jackson is likely to rule that BUSD is not a security. Interestingly, Binance contended that a US DOJ filing in the Mango Markets lawsuit contradicts the SEC’s position that BUSD and other stablecoins are unregistered securities, as reported exclusively by CoinGape.
The court’s opinion and ruling in Binance lawsuit will benefit Ripple in countering the SEC’s claims that the new stablecoin is an unregistered crypto asset. The SEC continues to see Ripple’s XRP programmatic sales and post-2020 ODL sales as unregistered securities law violations.

Ripple Awaits Decision on Expert Witness and Remedies
Lawyer James Murphy criticized the U.S. SEC’s reply brief, stating it adds nothing meaningful to the argument that institutional investors suffered pecuniary harm. He revealed the SEC’s motion for $2 billion in fines is likely to be dismissed in part by Judge Torres as citing a decision with a “not for publication” designation as precedent.
However, he doesn’t rule out the possibility of Judge Torres going with the iFresh reasoning. Also, it is possible the Judge would schedule a hearing to resolve unanswered questions about the positions of the parties.
Meanwhile, Ripple also seeks a court ruling on a motion to strike expert witness. Pro-XRP lawyers contend the judge will accept Fox Declaration give some expert evidence and ask Ripple’s lawyers to depose her.
Moreover, XRP lawyers predicted a final ruling to come substantially quicker than the summary judgment rulings, within 60 to 90 days after the last brief. Similarly, Ashley Prosper claims the XRP community has to wait until July or August, even September for Judge Torres’ final ruling.
XRP price now trades near $0.52, up nearly 1% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $0.509 and $0.528, respectively. The trading volume remains low on spot exchanges.

Investment management firm VanEck has filed its amended spot Ethereum ETF S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This comes after the Commission returned forms to issuers seeking minor changes. As the race to a potential listing in the summer nears, issuers place final touches on these investment vehicles.
VanEck Amends Ethereum ETF S-1
VanEck has filed its amended S-1 with the financial regulator with experts pointing to a near final approval date. The SEC approved 19b-4 filings of eight potential issuers in May but has delayed the final S-1 application with Gary Gensler point to a date this summer.
As investors anticipate trading spot Ethereum ETFs in the United States, firms are set to release updates to their fee structure. VanEck is aiming to trade under the “ETHV” ticker as users expect low fees. This development sparked a frenzy along social media spaces as bulls look to a future change in market sentiments.
Last week, Bitwise filed its S-1 amendment with a 6-month waiver of up to $500 million while other issuers are expected to submit applications today. Nate Geraci, the President of ETF Store noted that with amendments, institutions are gearing up for a potential launch in a week or two.

Similarly, Bloomberg’s analyst Eric Balchunas who previously expressed a near-term approval time frame for these products added that they put the ball in the regulator’s court. “First S-1 just rolled in today from VanEck.. they already had their fee so nothing to see here really, they just putting the ball back in SEC’s court. Expecting the rest today except for Bitwise who did theirs last week.”
Users Anticipate Approvals
Ethereum users look forward to spot ETF listings in a bid to attract massive institutional inflows to the asset. Drawing lines with the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, ETH holders anticipate price upswings to wipe out previous losses. Ethereum trades at $2,983, down 20% from the approval of 19b-4 applications.

Chainlink whales have taken the crypto market by storm, accumulating colossal amounts of LINK amid a weekly correction taken by the token. In a post shared by the renowned crypto market analyst Ali Martinez today, July 8, it was pointed out that whales bagged a staggering 6.2 million LINK over the past week.
This on-chain data has glimmered significant optimism on the crypto’s future price run. Here’s a brief report on the data and why it adds a bullish tint to LINK.
Whales Sack $76M Worth Coins
According to data spotlighted by Ali Martinez, Chainlink whales took action to hoard over 6.2 million LINK, worth $76.88 million, in the past seven days. LINK’s weekly chart illustrated a 9.71% fall at press time, with price dipping as low as $11.17 in the past seven days, per CoinMarketCap’s data.
This waning price action appears to have urged a potential buy-the-dip strategy among crypto market whales, driving the abovementioned accumulation. Usual market sentiments convey optimism for the crypto, hinting at large-scale investors’ confidence in the asset’s potential to pump ahead.
Meanwhile, recent data by Santiment highlighted that LINK’s 30-day MVRV rested at 11.1%, hinting that the asset is an opportunity zone. For context, the lower the MVRV, the more undervalued an asset, paving the path for buyers to enter the LINK market and pump the coin.
Also, despite the weekly dip in price, LINK has regained an upward momentum today, aligning with the accumulations and MVRV.

LINK Price Soars
At press time, the LINK price showed a 4.71% upswing in the past 24 hours and is currently resting at $13.44. The token’s 24-hour slumps and peaks were $11.83 and $13.44, underlining the presence of turbulency in tandem with broader market trends.
Nonetheless, Coinglass data spotlighted a market uptrend for Chainlink, as its Futures OI and derivatives volume surged remarkably. LINK’s OI jumped 5.60% to 157.16 million, whereas the derivatives volume surged 56.70% to $423.68 million. This data indicated increased investor interest in the asset and increased derivatives market activity.
However, the RSI rested along the 46 mark, hinting at broader asset neutrality. This hints at an uncertain movement for the token ahead, although on-chain data has projected a ray of optimism on the coin’s long-term prospects.
CoinGape Media’s recent price analysis hinted that Chainlink (LINK) price might even be poised to hit $20 amid bullish support gained by on-chain factors.

With all eyes on a spot Ethereum ETF approval for listing and trading by the U.S. SEC, experts predict high odds of approval this month. Crypto financial services firm Matrixport believes the Securities and Exchange Commission might approve Ether ETF by this week as the deadline for issuers to submit amended S-1 filings is Monday.
Ethereum ETF Approval Likely This Week
In a new update on July 8, Matrixport reported that the SEC will likely approve Ether ETF this week. The United States will have an exchange-traded fund tracking the spot price of Ethereum.
Matrixport expects swift progress similar to May when the SEC suddenly asked spot Ethereum ETF issuers to revise their applications. After 19b-4 filings by issuers, the SEC instantly approved them in the next three days. The S-1 applications were probably delayed due to the July 4 holiday and the long weekend.
CoinGape reported that the SEC delayed Ethereum ETF launch with a few comments, pushing the S-1 deadline to July 8. ETFstore President Nate Geraci said the last round of S-1 revisions was quite “light” and believes Ethereum ETFs will start trading in the next two weeks.
BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Hashdex, VanEck, and Invesco are anticipated to submit S-1 filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

ETH Price To Witness Massive Rally?
Matrixport predicts a recovery in Ethereum price to $3,400 after the approval by SEC. The company forecasting a nearly 12% sharp jump based on analysis that ETH price rallied 20% after the SEC approved 19-b filings.
Whereas, $725 billion asset manager Bernstein earlier gave a long-term ETH price target of $6,600. The firm reported that ETH will reach this price after spot Ethereum ETFs approval by the SEC. Notably, the estimate is based on a 75% rally in Bitcoin products in January following weeks of ETFs approval. Bernstein analysts expect a similar price action for Ethereum.
ETH price rose 2% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $3,068. The 24-hour low and high are $2,826 and $3,090, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has increased further by 57% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.
